FEATURE The advantages to using the infrared process for repairs are many, as we learned from Jason Stepp, Vice President and National Sales Manager for VSS Macropaver, Stepp Mfg., and Kasi Infrared. He says the specialized application of modern heat technology to make repairs delivers results that are faster, more eco-friendly and more effective than conventional applications. Just a few of those advantages include:
• Faster repair: Most can be completed within about 25 minutes, as opposed to the lengthy surface closures required for most traditional methods. This means traffic and pedestrian use can be resumed after a fraction of the downtime typical of other repair processes. For your crews, Stepp says this means the ability to turn around multiple repair projects in a single day, maximizing productivity and reducing labor costs.

• Eco-friendly practice: By using the infrared process, existing asphalt is supplemented with a minimal amount of new material. This minimizes the amount of waste generated on a project.
